Best Friend Sweater

Over a year ago now, I designed this little sweater for Spud and Chloe.

I'm so happy to see that it has finally been published!

This sweater is available in children's sizes 1-12 which is so great.

It is fun for me to see it modeled by an older child because the version that I turned in was a tiny size 2.

Here is my original sweater. I named it the Campfire Jacket.

My friend's little boy, Benjamin, modeled it for me. Isn't he so sweet?

For all of you who complain about me not designing things for boys... well... here you go! :)

This is a great little cardigan because, like all of my other children's patterns, it is knit in one piece! Even the pockets are knitted in. Its unisex, cozy and warm. And of course you know how much I love the Spud and Chloe Sweater yarn! It's a perfect choice for children's garments.

The color that this sweater is knitted in is called "Chipmunk". I've never seen a dark green chipmunk myself... (except for this one) but anyways.. this colorway is what inspired the campfire theme. I found these amazing handmade tree branch buttons on Etsy, and I think that they really made the sweater extra special.

All of the pattern information can be found HERE on the Spud and Chloe website.

All of the Spud and Chloe patterns can be purchased through your local yarn shop.

I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to design for such an awesome company.

New Petite purls winter issue - sweater with LEAVES! I immediately thought of you. Picture it in green and it would be the perfect sweater for your daughter!!http://petitepurls.com/winter10/winter2010_p_cascade.html

My daughter have a sweater similar to this design, only it's machine knitted, seamed and I do not like the feel of the yarn. I'd love to make another one for her. Do you have plans of putting it on sale online? I live in the Philippines and don't have access to US yarn shops.

You sweater design is really cute and I appreciate that it is knit all in one piece.

The French Press slippers caught my attention a while ago and to hear the story behind them makes me want to put them at the top of my queue. I'll have to figure out the top-load washing machine angle as we just got a front-load.
